sweeet! looking more like a real hatchback should! can't help but notice how much in every picture in your previous post the section above the tail lights looks like overspray from the blackouts even though its completely white. 

sort of like that blue dress that was yellow or was it the yellow dress that was blue.

 

top work as always

Hey Daryl
You've got a good gloss on that paint mate, looking really neat - I'm glad I bought my SS decal from Mick & was impressed it came with template, attention to detail like that goes along way in my book.
Black/silver stripes will look good you don't see many hatches with them anymore

Cheers Aaron

Looking good Daryl its certainly coming along nice.

Just a question did you have trouble fitting your H4's? reason being when I fitted mine the top adjusting screw was a nightmare to access to try and get the headlight to shine straight.

cheers

Maybe Rares underestimated the demand of the front spoiler but you'd think they would of produced a certain amount to make it worth doing.
Then again - All good things take time & you've got that one in the bag......Lol
I'm sure you will put up some pics when it's installed and it will be good to compare it to the two piece one I have.
